The violation of biologic width due to restorative margin restorative margin location, materials, and contours can lead to gingival inflammation, clinical attachment loss, and bone loss. This case shows how impingement on biologic width by restoration lead to gingival inflammation and recession which was further corrected by connective tissue graft.
